<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Perform constant NVE integration to update position and velocity for
atoms constrained to a curved surface (manifold) in the group each timestep. The constraint
is handled by RATTLE <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html#andersen"><span class="std std-ref">(Andersen)</span></a> written out for the special case of
single-particle constraints as explained in <a class="reference internal" href="manifolds.html#paquay"><span class="std std-ref">(Paquay)</span></a>.
V is volume; E is energy. This way, the dynamics of particles constrained to
curved surfaces can be studied. If combined with <a class="reference internal" href="fix_langevin.html"><span class="doc">fix langevin</span></a>, this generates
Brownian motion of particles constrained to a curved surface. For a list of currently supported
manifolds and their parameters, see <a class="reference internal" href="manifolds.html"><span class="doc">manifolds</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note that the particles must initially be close to the manifold in question. If not, RATTLE will
not be able to iterate until the constraint is satisfied, and an error is generated. For simple
manifolds this can be achieved with <em>region</em> and <em>create_atoms</em> commands, but for more complex
surfaces it might be more useful to write a script.</p>
<p>The manifold args may be equal-style variables, like so:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">variable</span> <span class="n">R</span> <span class="n">equal</span> <span class="s2">&quot;ramp(5.0,3.0)&quot;</span>
<span class="n">fix</span> <span class="n">shrink_sphere</span> <span class="nb">all</span> <span class="n">nve</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">manifold</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">rattle</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="n">e</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">4</span> <span class="mi">10</span> <span class="n">sphere</span> <span class="n">v_R</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In this case, the manifold parameter will change in time according to the variable.
This is not a problem for the time integrator as long as the change of the manifold is slow with respect to the dynamics of the particles.
Note that if the manifold has to exert work on the particles because of these changes, the total energy might not be conserved.</p>

<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info</h2>
<p>No information about this fix is written to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>. None of the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><span class="doc">fix_modify</span></a> options
are relevant to this fix. No global or per-atom quantities are stored
by this fix for access by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">output commands</span></a>. No parameter of this fix can
be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><span class="doc">run</span></a> command.
This fix is not invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><span class="doc">energy minimization</span></a>.</p>

<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This fix is part of the USER-MANIFOLD package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS
was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a>
section for more info.</p>
<p>Only use this with <em>min_style hftn</em> or <em>min_style quickmin</em>. If not, the constraints
will not be satisfied very well at all. A warning is generated if the <em>min_style</em> is
incompatible but no error.</p>
